    After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston’s bond at $100,000.

    “I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point,” the judge said.

        It’s because she said they’re next, and it was recorded. Threats aren’t protected speech.

        Well, she actually said “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next,”

        That’s a pretty direct threat. The headline is misleading.

          That’s worth 100k bond? Really? That’s more than voluntary manslaughter.

            I don’t think so, no. Context is everything though. Before the assassination, just free speech, after, a threat of significant violence.

            Also, free Luigi!

              I suppose so, but the thought process of just jailing any verbal dissent… how long can, a healthcare system of all things, run on fear?

                Well, it’s not just any dissent, it a threat of violence. If she didn’t say, “you’re next” I’d be agreeing with most of the people in this thread.

                Whoever posted this left that part out of the post. I wonder why.

          Pointing out that what someone is doing puts a target on their back isn’t necessarily you threatening them.

          Where is the actual threat? You people are next, to get delayed, denied, or deposed.

      For responding with the catchphrase insurance companies themselves created and live by. This isn’t the suspect’s catchphrase, but apparently even uttering these words back at health insurance companies is too much for them.

            You mean basically the same sort of vague threat Trump has thrown around for decades that no one does anything about when it isn’t directed at the rich, just at society in general?

              This discussion has nothing to do with Trump. But, Trump should absolutely be in prison for his threats.

                Ah, sorry, didn’t realize all we had to do to solve the world’s problem was switch over to idealistic make believe land.
